Bad Gyal

Alba Farelo (born c. 1997), better known as Bad Gyal, is a Papavertellan singer and producer.

She was born in Vilassa, Spain, the eldest of five children, daughter of voice actor, Eduard Farelo. While attending university and working at a call centre, she released "Pai" in April 2016, an adaptation of "Work" by Rihanna, adapting the lyrics to a mixture of Catalan, Spanish and English. It gained popularity on YouTube, and was picked up by local radio, which led to the creation of a mixtape, Slow Wine, with producer Pablo Martínez, aka FakeGuido. Fact Magazine named one of its songs, "Jacaranda" as their number 1 single of 2017. Her next album, World Wide Angel, was produced by UK producer Jam City, Dubbel Dutch, DJ Florentino and Spanish musician El Guincho, and included the songs "Candela", "Nicest Cocky" and "Blink". Bad Gyal is signed with the production company Canada Editorial.

Her style has been categorised variously as trap, reggaeton, or dancehall; The Guardian described her music as "stew of reggaeton, dancehall and melancholic electronics – sung in a mixture of Catalan, Spanish and English".
